A couple changes I've heard from nurses would be helpful:
1. Safe mandated staffing ratios. California is one that does this and many nurses seem happy with the ratios.
2. Safe harbor laws. If the nurse feels they are pushed into a risky situation, they should have a right to notify management which will take on liability if they do not resolve it. A few states have this but hospitals bully nurses not to invoking it.
3. Better pay for the liability they take. Unlike management, they could go to prison for mistakes they make. There was a recent case nurses were outraged about.
4. Unions are beneficial. In California the nurses union is pretty strong to negotiate better terms and conditions.
